With this in mind I decided to go for traditional colours for this card. Using a 5x5 black card I stamped onto sticky back red foam using archival jet black ink and Judikins Ornate Floral background.

The next matt was a plain piece of card stamped in versamark ink with Stamp Addicts text stamp and highlighted using cosmic shimmer mica powders in copper and russet to make it pop.

Finally the image of the Love Bugs (from Stamp Addicts) was stamped in black memento and coloured using promarkers, the background was coloured using glacier blue flex marker for the outline of the image and worn lipstick distress ink blended around the edges.

About Me

I have been crafting for around 5 years now. Recently extending my experiences beyond card making into both Art Journalling, Art Canvases and Mixed Media Projects.
I remain a devote of rubber stamps however and my husband has relinquished our small third bedroom into my craft room which I am beginning to kit out with all the fripperies and storage solutions a crafty gal can need.
I live in Bedfordshire with my wonderfully tolerant husband Ben, two cats and our chihuahua.
I work full time so dont get to craft as often as I would like and can hold my hands up that often I am in trouble when the washing is overflowing the basket and the housework hasnt been done as I have gone to play with my crafty stash.
I love to read, listen to music and now keep a journal to hand for all my thoughts, feelings, recipes etc;
I also love watching films and listening to music whilst crafting and it is amazing the speed time travels when you relax and enjoy your favourite hobby.
Only flaw now is whenever we go on holiday I do check out to see if there will be a craft or art store in my sites for the odd crafty purchase.
